My party has exited the Underdark and defeated most SoA enemies, with the Ranger stronghold stuff, Orcus and the Twisted Rune up next.
I did not forge Phosphorus in Chapter 3, and am wondering whether it would still be worth it. If I do forge it, it would replace FoA+4 as my Vagrant protagonist's off-hand weapon (main hand is The Truth); however, no one else in the party needs FoA. Is the Strength bonus worth the investment at this stage? Also, while I have yet to defeat Orcus, I'm thinking that improving Anomen's shield maybe more worthwhile than creating Hesperus. After all, and if I remember correctly, there are only two difficult battles involving the Undead after Orcus; on the other hand, Anomen could use Supreme Shelter. Noe that Phosphorus would be used by the protagonist, or possibly Valygar, but that both are well-equipped as it is. So, what are your opinions? Hesperus and Phosphorus - yay or nay? |

hehe, yes, actually my Ph. D is in philosophy.
But the names of these two items actually match with their nature in the game. Phosphorus is a + 4 "morning star" and Hesperus is a weapon to shine against creatures of the night. Thanks for the curiosity. -------------------- Improved Anvil
 Cheating is not confined to using external software or the console commands. Abusing the flaws and limitations of the game engine to do something that a human Dungeon Master would not accept or allow is cheating. |

QUOTE(Sikret @ Jan 6 2009, 05:23 PM)  hehe, yes, actually my Ph. D is in philosophy. So is mine, in fact, though my research interests are quite a way from philosophy of language. Not the most obvious qualification you'd expect from people who write tactical BG2 mods! We now return you to your regularly scheduled on-topic discussion. |
